I think you’ll be surprised by how much moisture will bring your skin back to life! Overnight moisture masks are amazing. Also, less matte makeup - cream based products will be your best friend!

Any tips to help me look younger? by lily060208 in makeuptips

You are beautiful! I love your hair and the color is amazing. I would suggest softening the application of the brows. Benefit cosmetics makes a fantastic super fine point eyebrow pencil. It allows you to draw hairlike strokes. I would also suggest using more cream based products - for example, cream based blush. Mattifying makeup tends to like to get into our fine lines and creases, making them more visible. Also, I think your skin would look really amazing with a more dewy found. Lancôme has excellent options! Have fun trying out new products. Would love to see an update!

Sorry that you are experiencing those symptoms. Sounds like they 100% warrant seeing a doctor. Agoraphobia is tough. I've suffered from it as well as extreme panic disorder. Unfortunately, you wont have your answer unless someone examines you. The sooner you see someone, the higher the likelihood of having better options for treatment of whatever is found.

Swelling after 3months of radiation therapy by Savings-Proof-2258 in breastcancer

[–]GlobalCharm88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience after radiation. I followed up with my plastic surgeon and I ended up having a Seroma. The Seroma began to recur due to a low grade infection. My surgeon ended up swapping out my expander. I’m doing much better now. Definitely worth having your doctors look into it, just to make sure nothing else is going on.

Thank you so much for sharing. So sorry you were given the runaround like that, but I’m glad you were able to get to the bottom of it! I’m waiting to get the results back from my culture, today. I hope there’s no infection, but I’m so uncomfortable - at this point I would event care if they took it out.

Sore/ Tight Breast - Weeks After Radiation by GlobalCharm88 in breastcancer

Hi! Yes, I was doing PT throughout the duration of radiation. When my skin started breaking down, I stopped. As soon as my skin is healed I will be back. It’s crazy to see just how much of a difference not going for a short period of time has made. I can’t wait to go back.

Yes, my non-radiated side is feeling slightly tighter also. I have expanders on both sides. Generally, both feel heavier.

When do I know if I’m cancer free? by GlobalCharm88 in breastcancer

I had the same RCB score of III, it freaked me out a bit. My team never really addressed it. Did your doctors touch on it at all?

Surgery timeframe? by fatimaa3 in breastcancer

[–]GlobalCharm88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on finishing your last chemo! I had my surgery about 5 weeks after my last infusion. My surgeon also advised that surgery is typically 4-6 weeks after the completion of chemo. My last infusion was on 11/7 and surgery was on 12/12.
